Five springs believed to have health benefits were located near this site, and even the mud around them was supposed to soothe aching limbs. In August, 1892, the springs were covered by a tall, wooden canopy. Later, a brick wall around an octagonal base was added, along with pipes and marble basins. These springs, and the nearby Apollo Spring, were extolled as "among the best in the world" and enhanced Glen Ellyn's attractiveness as a place to live and to vacation.
